President Trump revealed at the NATO summit that Israeli operatives inspected Iran’s recently bombed nuclear facilities and confirmed what he called “total obliteration.” He emphasized that the U.S. strike was executed rapidly enough that Iran could not remove enriched uranium beforehand. According to Trump, the operation set Iran’s nuclear program back decades.
Despite this assertion, a preliminary leak from U.S. intelligence suggested the damage might only be temporary and repairable within a few months. Trump dismissed that report as politically motivated and defended the mission, stating U.S. forces and allied pilots acted with precision.
Trump also hinted at forming a future diplomatic relationship with Iran, noting that a cease-fire agreement had been reached during the conflict.
